Counter-Strike 2 is here, replacing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive which launched over ten years ago. And to keep things running smoothly, Valve has released another patch for this online shooter. If you’re curious as to what the patch fixes, here are all patch notes for Counter-Strike 2’s October 12 update.
What CS2’s October 12 Update Fixes and Tweaks
There aren’t too many gameplay changes in this patch, it’s mostly a case of bug squashing. That said, there are a few maps tweaks included, to the Inferno, Mirage, Nuke, Overpass, and Vertigo maps.
The ‘”Smooth Criminal” foot pinning bug’ has been fixed, too. It appears that the bug wasn’t just silly, it actually gave you a gameplay advantage. Speaking of silly, players can no longer clip through ceilings.
So what else does the patch fix? Here are all the patch notes.
